I think that happened in Ennis, at the Texas Motorplex (just south of Dallas) over the weekend. Amazing that both drivers survived

That's nuts! Kind of looks like Grebecks crash, but with much better results.

Seeing them both side by side, then the slow drift into the next lane, they looked like they were going kinda slow for a drag race, until the yellow car disintegrated.
Amazing what a 150 mile an hour t-bone will do to ya.

Buddy of mine at work collects drag race oops's, gave me a copy of what he had about 10 years ago.

They gotta be the safest cars to drive.

I can just imagine what the guy in the blue car was thinking when he saw that yellow car drift in front of him.

there was a wreck at tulsa this past year. The car some how did a 180 and came back toward the starting line and resulted in 2 fatalities. The driver and her son who was at the starting line with the push car. They estimated the speed of impact at 200 mph.

Oh, forgot to add, he called his compilation "And they Walked Away", which they all did.
